That is exactly what it is check you pH and get some pH up or down get it at like 7.5 or 7.0. Hope it helps

It is nute burn, most likely. Flush the plants and lower your ppm's, and if no meter, then add fresh RO water to your res before you pH it. Also, keep your pH between 5.5 and 6.0 in hydro. 7.5 or 7.0 is way too high for marijuana in any growing style I am aware of. We really need more info to help, but it looks like nute burn. In hydro, a TDS mweter and a pH meter are required to avoid, or reduce chances of, these kind of problems. I have some Ice plants that are 18 days old, that are on their 4th leaf set and 2" tall....little bushes. ppm was at 005 (pure RO water) for first week, 300 for second week, and just raised to 400. Plants are lush and happy, with no burn at all. I am glad to help any way I can, although I am just a well read nube myself.
Also, and especially in early life, run nutes at reduced strength. I run 1/8th strength starting out, and increase by 1/4 strength weekly until I am to where I am running 3/4 strength at it's strongest. This is what everyone I have talked to recommends, running nutes at reduced strength. I actually use AN nutes, and run them at 3/4 of their light feeding chart, which is just better than 1/2 the bottle strength.

You gotta tell us more about your grow before we can say that it is good to have your roots in the soup
As long as everything is dialed in (air stones, water temps etc...) it would be a good way of growing.

Good luck mate!

Thanks for helping guys...um lets see where to start. Well first off i dont have any air stones and i dont know the water temp. I dont have a ppm meter but i do check the ph everyday keeping it right around 5.5-6.0. I have been watering 24/7 along with the light im not sure if thats ok or not. The light is a 600w hps and my system is a waterfarm top feed. What should i do about the leaves that got the nutes burn they are all curled up and yellow and do my roots look ok. Sorry about the pictures its from my phone.

First off...relax. They look ok. The nute burned leaves will eventually curl up and fall off, they will not return. Oh well...as long as new growth looks healthy (it does) and your roots look great.
BUT.....you do not want your roots to soak in water w/o oxygenation....go out to a department store (walmart, et al) right now and buy a dual outlet aquarium pump, 10' of line, 2 airstones, and an aquarium stick on thermometer....this will cost about 12 dollaras us and your plants will LOVE you for it........roots that live in water require oxygen. GO...NOW! Get air pump!!! Hurry! LOL!!!
